get a camshaft and maybe valve springs... if you buy them used, you might even have $$$ left over!

Hmm yea,
Cams with stock ecu + exhaust!!!

Nice mod, try it...

Save more $$. This $500 bucks would only at best get u a Xforce canon catback. Give u maybe 5hp and ur car still be slow. No offence but it is.

Best bet. Save another $500 to make it $1000 get some decent coilovers. At least ur car look gangstar for the moment and nice n low with gd handling ability.

Then on, save every single cent you have to get a B18C or B18CR into it. Looking at $6k engine and $1k install. Not really sure. Eat bread and drink water if u have to. After that, you will have an EK B18CR that will eat many cars alive which will feel up ur empty stomach. Haha. But seriously, dun waste the $500 and wanna do something marginal now and have to start saving for that engine conversion all over again.

Keep saving and keep researching and looking for ur engine. Gd luck.

haha... why, is it IMPOSSIBLE?

I dropped a bullfrog cam in a d15 dual port crx, not even with new valve springs...

it raped the shit out of mini me's (d16 w/ vtec), all day long! and it lasted quite a while. maybe the reason it didnt work for you is because of the mechanic/you, NOT because of the type of build... and if you have never tried it, WTF are you quoting me?!?!...

you dont need a bigger exhaust or an ecu for cams but an upgraded valvetrain helps, he asked for a simple/cheap mod to better his cars performance, for under $500... this is exactly that

this is the smartest approach... just get some lowering springs to add spunk to the ride and then start stacking paper!!!

500 bucks?
Cars are an expensive hobby man, ull need a lot more than that to get n e decent results from a d16.

Save your money man... buy yourself a coke and a smile
